[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sin\theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{22}{H}=sin77[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H=22/sin77[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow H=22.59ft\approx 23ft[/tex]

The length of the extension ladder that is against the outside wall of the house is 22.58 feet.

What is the length of the ladder?

When the ladder lies against a house, a right triangle is formed. The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse. The distance from the base of the ladder to the house is the base. The lenfth off the house is the length.

To find the length of the ladder, Sin would be used:

Sin = opposite / hypotenuse

Sin 77 = 22 / h

h = 22 / 0.9743 = 22.58 feet
